Fraserasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what types and how many of each type of aircraft have been delivered to each of the Middle East Arab States since the lifting of the arms embargo; and what is the balance in types and numbers of each contract remaining to be delivered.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesIt would not be in accordance with usual practice to supply detailed information of this kind. A certain number of civil aircraft have been supplied to private firms in Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and some are being supplied to Israel and Syria. Small numbers of fighter and bomber aircraft have been supplied to Egypt, and a small number of fighters to Iraq. No military aircraft have been supplied to any other country.
